In what ways did the Market Revolution affect the United States and its citizens? Discuss the impact of one of the following movements or inventions during the Market Revolution, from 1830-1850:
- Cotton Gin
- American System
- Steamboat
- Interchangeable Parts
- Turnpikes
- Steel plow
The Market Revolution did many things along the line of new inventions and ideas to further expand many industries. For example the idea of interchangeable parts allowed the mass production of something but with parts that were exactly the same every time. This was a huge step from the cottage to commercial size production because as master craftsman made things they were specifically made by hand. This meant parts could not be replaced due to that made good being the only one made good just like it. With interchangeable parts if something broke on a made good it could easily be replaced with a similar part.
ReplyDeleteInterchangable parts are a great example to use. They were a major step and made it much easier to put the similar part if something was wrong with it. This helped american society to mover faster in the industries.
DeleteA great example is the muskets, it had been handmade with parts especially designed for each particular musket. The trigger of one musket, for example, could not be used to replace a broken trigger on another musket. With interchangeable parts, however, all triggers fit the same model of musket.
DeleteIn 1838, John Deere invented the steel plow. That allowed farmers to till soil faster and more cheaply without making as many repairs, which profoundly aided in their financial endeavors. In general because all the manufacturing and farming became so effective, the standard of living in the US inclined significantly. Also, we became less dependent on imports from Europe.
ReplyDeleteTrue, and also the steel plow made it easier for us to farm in places with harder soil, in turn making it possible for us to expand/farm westward.
DeleteAlso, the steel plow was to serve as a permanent replacement of the wood plow which would break when tilling the hard,rough soil. Due this invention more land was available for crop growth and more crops were able to be grown to feed the hungry nation.
DeleteThe Market Revolution affected the United States and its citizens hugely by the invention/era of the steamboat, that was invented in 1807.The steamboat completely changed shipping;permitted fast two-way traffic on the nation’s new waterways.Planters could easily and cheaply ship cotton, rice, and sugar upriver on the Mississippi rather than send it around Florida and up the Eastern seaboard, as they had previously done.
ReplyDeleteAll accurate, and also as steamboat transportation increased, self sufficiency decreased. Commercial trading took a rapid incline because the dependency of manufactured goods was so efficient.
DeleteThe American System was an economic plan that Henry Clay came up with. It played a prominent role in during the first half of the nineteenth century. It was designed to spur national economic growth and interdependence between geogrphical regions. This affected the U.S by the addition of a Second National bank in Philadelphia. This bank was going to stabilize American currency and collect revenues. This system would also develop transportation systems to allow easy distribution of goods and troops. This system affected the citizens by raising the tariffs and placing even more protective tariffs. The protective tariffs were supported by the northeast and west but the southern states were against them.
ReplyDeleteYour right Sayra, for this was also called the Bank War. President Jackson wasn't very fond of this idea. For he distrusted monopolistic companies and big named factories. So he made sure that the Charter wasnt gonna get signed.
DeleteInterchangeable parts helped change parts that were broken rather than having to dispose of the broken tool all together. This caused an increase in production in both agriculture and industry. Rather than having to put in a week of work waiting for a tradesmen, a part could be easily ordered and production could continue. Same goes for any other situation in which a tool was broken, all the manufacturer had to do was replace the broken part. Over all the invention of interchangeable parts gave an incredible boost the American economy.
ReplyDeleteThe cotton gin had a great effect on the Market Revolution by increasing the amount of production. It took slaves way more time to separate the cotton seeds from fibers but the cotton gin did this automatically therefore increasing how many pounds of cotton a slave could produce. American inventors did a great job in transforming the economy with innovations. Little did they know that all these changes were leading up to the civil war.
DeleteLets remember that yes interchangeable parts gave good money to the manufacturer but it also saved a lot of money on the consumer part for it cost way more to have a whole new good made than just paying someone to fix it or purchasing the part to fix it yourself. Really good way to explain interchangeable parts cammy! :)
DeleteInterchangeable parts also gave the opportunity for everyone to get the opportunity to get a job. Women saw this as an opportunity to make a living for themselves. The factories like The Lowell hired women to work for them.
DeleteInterchangeable parts saved a lot of time and money and made products more efficient. It produced many jobs for people.
DeleteThe Market Revolution brought a drastic change in the manual labor system of the United States by making improvements in transportation, communication, and on existing technologies. Industrialization of the United States allowed the country to increase agricultural production and manufacturing. The Market Revolution brought greater opportunities to some farmers, craftsmen, and business managers. Unfortunately, many small businesses lost money or went out of business because big companies put up tough competition. As larger businesses began to expand, workers of those small, doomed businesses began to earn less money or became unemployed. In 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, which was used to remove seeds from cotton at a faster pace than by removal by hand. The cotton gin provides an excellent example of larger businesses crushing smaller businesses as larger plantations benefitted from this invention more than smaller plantations because the demand for slaves increased, ergo so did the amount of farming land. Many small plantation systems either went out of business or expanded to compete.
ReplyDeleteWhile Eli Whitney did bring about the cotton gin to decrease the amount of time that would normally be used up by using ones hands. Creating an invention that would improve in the efficiency of a worker or the device itself would improve the profit that an owner of a plantation would of received. Consequently this invention brought cotton back into the market for all plantations.
DeleteThe market revolution impacted greatly on the highways.It contributed the Lancaster turnpike which was like the hardy toll road but it had spikes where you paid.It helped western movement and returned 15% of annual dividends to stockholders.
ReplyDeleteEli Whitney's invention of the Cotton Gin made the cultivation of cotton more profitable. The cotton gin made production faster and more efficient which reduced the amount of labor needed to harvest the cotton. The cotton gin improved the south's economy. The sudden increase in cotton production led to many textile factories being created in the North.
ReplyDeleteYes, and the factories in the north eventually started making cloth. Eventually this will lead to import and trade not just within the country, but with foreign countries.
DeleteAlso, due to the fact that the US started to trade with foreign countries, this country started to expand its economy, and started to gain international status, which is what some leaders hoped for.
DeleteThe steam boat introduced in 1809 revolutionized travel by water. Much of the Missippi River trade was dominated by the steamboat. Steamboats were faster than rafts and flatboats. Which decreased shipping costs. Steamboats could also travel upstream. Towns were created along the Mississipi River
ReplyDeleteYea with the steam boat being so successful it would not take long for the Erie Canal to be built in reaction of the newly found transportation. It was a smoother and more reliable ride then sailing. Not only would it pay for itself very quickly tons of expansion came from it stretching from Ohio river to Cleveland.
DeleteThe steamboat not only made transportation smoother and more reliable but it also decreased the cost of traveling in canals and up river. That was one of the biggest reasons why this invention was such a success.
DeleteWhen the market revolution came about, the ideas of modernization and industrialism expanded as well. The opportunities for economic growth was something everyone wanted and it was, inevitable. One of the most significant, if not most important, was the invention of interchangeable parts. The process of creating parts that fit every manufactured tool was beneficial in employment rates, agricultural processing and boosted the industrial factory reputation greatly. This way the materials used in a cottage industry or specialty made tool were not wasted when the product broke. They were much easier and cheaper to fix rather than buying a new product.
ReplyDeleteBecause the Steel Plow, made by John Deere, allowed the production of agriculture to increase it made a mighty impact on the market revolution. This new invention at the time allowed farmers to do their jobs faster and easier.
ReplyDeleteTrue, also slaves were scarcely needed because of the steel plow.
DeleteI agree with you, but maybe your point would've been made clearer if you included why, or rather how, did it make farmers perform their jobs faster.
DeleteIt also increased profit from agriculture and farmers could sell a whole lot more than they had before.
DeleteNot really, the slave owners wanted even more slaves so get more work done and get even more money.
DeleteThe steamboat, invented by Robert Fulton in 1807, permitted the transportation of goods. Within a couple of decades, steamboats were in use on rivers, canals, and eventually on the sea. The steamboat completely changed shipping, for the first time in history, mariners didn’t have to rely on winds and currents, so they could travel directly to any port at any time. Planters in Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana, for example, could easily and cheaply ship cotton, rice, and sugar upriver on the Mississippi rather than send it around Florida and up the Eastern seaboard, as they haddone before.
ReplyDeleteI agree it also took less time to get to its destination but it had downfalls like explosions to overweight
DeleteThis is true, due to the steamboat trade along rivers was made easier. They also made it where the trade could be made going against the current.
DeleteThe Market Revolution was the major growth spurt of this Nation. The Revolution made America become independent from countries such as Britain and Spain. The steamboat provided a great advantage to this independence. They started becoming able to travel greater distances quicker, more efficient, and, best of all; cheaper. They were able to industrialize around the lakes and rivers which were and still are today trading ports that provide some sort of transportation for trading and have people move up or down the river.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it have a huge impact on the U.S. The United States saw a massive expansion in the economy, and stopped being so dependent on imports from Europe, and instead turned into an empire of internal commerce. While this shift in economies did have some negatives the long-lasting positive effects greatly outweigh the negative ones. Farming and manufacturing became much more effective and new inventions and innovations raised the standard of living
DeleteThe mississippi river was the highway of its time it allowed merchants to travel on steam boat which made it way faster up and down stream.
DeleteThe market revolution had great inventions during this time. Like the steel plow, allowed us to make the soil very mixed up and easier to put new crops and grow things the American people had it for themself. This allowed our economy to grow.
ReplyDeleteAlong with more crops being able to be made there was more slavery involved because of the manual labor required to use the steel plow for farming.
DeleteThe Cotton Gin, invented by Eli Whitney, was supposed to make taking the seeds out of cotton easier and reduce the amount of slaves needed for this process, which in turn would reduce the amout of slaves needed period, but instead, it made the Cotton industry boom, and exploded the need for slaves because since cotton was easier to process after that, slave owners got greedy and were processing cotton faster by getting more slaves so they could make a better profit.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, the Steamboat also encouraged the shipping of Cotton and also influenced the rise in the Cotton Industry.
DeleteVery true, the cotton gin enlarged the demand for more slaves among the south. As more cotton was produced with the help of the cotton gin more buyers emerged creating a larger demand for the cotton. Great answer Marlayna!
DeleteThe Market Revolution in the United States produced a drastic change in the manual labor system by introducing improvements in transportation,communication and altering technologies already in place. It originated in south, but was soon moved to the north and later spread to the entire world. One of those introductions was the steel plow invented by John Deere in 1837 which was used to for farming to break up the tough soil, since wooden plows couldn't plow the rich soil without breaking. The result of this was that farmers were able to plant enough crops to take care of the growing nation.
ReplyDeleteThe steamboat invented by robert fulton in 1807 made trading easier and faster.
ReplyDeletemaking it easier than before to send off goods to other countries .
Transporting goods and products would not have been possible without the steamboat . The steamboat also help reduced the travel time it took for the goods to go from place to place.
DeleteI, too, agree that the invention of the steamboat made trade significantly more easier, especially by shortening the time required for transportation to market. However, I disagree with your statement about Robert Fulton inventing the steamboat in 1807 because John Fitch actually invented the first steamboat in the U.S. in 1787. Many people tend to give credit of the invention to Robert Fulton because of his improvement on Fitch's design of the steamboat. Fulton actually developed the first commercially successful steamboat, not the first steamboat of the U.S.
DeleteThe Market Revolution was the development of a modern market society where merchants organized efficient systems of production for more goods. The causes of this were population growth, slow transportation, many things produced in house hold,and trying to industrialize. When the concept of Interchangeable Parts was created by Eli Whitney it created a shift in our economy. We could make the same parts for a cheap price and give it to an unskilled work force. This gave many people the opportunity to get a job and it also increased production of goods. This made making a living into earning a wage, encouraged competition, and gave wealth to any. The invention of Interchangeable parts raised the number of factories and gave the opportunity for everyone to get a job including women.
ReplyDeleteThe Interchangeable Parts made a huge impact as you have said Ale. I agree that it helped factories save time and allowed more people be able to handle the work. Interchangeable Parts were able to be made into different types of goods whereas before this invention, parts were made for specific goods only. A good example of this are guns like muskets which all had the same triggers, bullets, and ramrods.
DeleteEli Whitney came up with many new idea like Interchangeable Parts. He also contributed the cotton gin which also helped with a rate of faster production and it made it easier to do work
DeleteThe Steamboat permitted fast two-way traffic on the nation's new waterways. Steamboats could be used in major canals and rivers. The Steamboat changed shipping, for the first time, Steamboats could travel to any port without having to worry about winds and currents.
ReplyDeleteThe steamboat also allowed the colonies to be able to trade with other colonies, and increased transportation
DeleteThe market revoution affected the U.S and its citizens in a good way . It was a new approach adopted by farmers and manufacturers to do their work. With many new markets accesible they could now produce for the market rather than just personal consumption and they could engaged in elaborate calculations designed to maximize their profits in these markets. But to be able to do this they needed a source of transportation . Turnpikes were the first solution . It was essential for the colonies to be connected with each other and turnpikes seem to help for a whie . There was also Turnpikes Trusts , small companies that set up roads where the user had to pay a fee to use the road , thid due to the government not been able to pay for the bulit of roads. Not everyone liked the idea of having to pay to travel on a road that was once free and as the Industrial Revolution continued and other forms of transportation emerged the need of Turnpikes Trusts was reduced.
ReplyDeleteThe Market Revolution offered various contributions that affected United States citizens then and now. During the Market Revolution era, the invention of turnpikes made its appearance. Some may ask, "What's a turnpike?". Well, turnpikes were roads whose access required fees (Modern Day's Toll Booth). Turnpikes aroused a flood in traffic; thus producing a big advance in the developing economy.
ReplyDeleteSome people didn't want to pay for the tolls,so they would jump over the toll gate. To stop people from doing this, spikes were put on top of the gates.
DeleteDuring the Market Revolution many inventions were made to help people. Such as the cotton gin which would help cotton plantations. The cotton gin was created to help slaves. With the cotton Gin, Eli Whitney thought slavery would end. It probably would of since slaves were expensive, but with the cotton gin, Farmers began to see huge profits. Which ultimately increased slavery.
ReplyDeletei agree it was somewhat created to help slaves but it was also created to make life easier like most inventions today. When he invented the cotton gin, his main motivation was to decrease the labor of picking seeds not necessarily ending slavery because in Britain at the time slavery had already been abolished .
DeleteThe cotton gin ultimately served to make the products of cotton cheaper and more affordable to the American people. Although it was tougher on the farmer, the clothes and textiles made of cotton were cheaper and this encouraged the consumer to purchase their goods here at home supporting the American Economy.
DeleteHenry Clay's American System harmonized and balanced the nation's agriculture, commerce, and industry. It included a national bank, tariffs, and leftover money to build roads and such. Clay argued economic interdependence would eliminate the chance of renewed subservience to the free-trade, laissez-faire "British System." The impact it had on US and its citizens was tremendous, it was completely efficient and brought balance to the US.
ReplyDeleteI agree and this system also opened up flood gates of new inventions and industrial means of tripling product sales.
DeleteIn the market revolution, turnpikes helped out the newly made highways. These turpikes made a sort of toll road. Money was made while people were crossing to place to place. You would have to pay to get rid of the turnpikes, which were these beg spikes that would come of the road to prevent anyone from crossing. This gave them an idea on how to make profit and make the economy better.
ReplyDeleteIt started it all, the Cotton Gin invented by Eli Whitney, began industrializing Britain in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Its sole purpose was to easily and quickly remove seeds from cotton bolls.This simple invention to an decrease in the use of slaves/laborers. This invention inspired America to industrialize for the sake of the people and the future. This invention inspired other inventors during the market revolution.It also gave the people a variety of opportunities for jobs because of the new and upcoming industries whom needed people to help work machines.
ReplyDeleteThis amazing invention by Eli Whitney also increased or boosted up the economy of the southern part of the United States as well.
DeleteThe Market Revolution was basically the time period in which the development of manufacture and improvement of agriculture had really progressed. It also involved an economic growth due to new transportation networks as well. The American system during this period had been established for various reasons. It was used as a tariff to protect the industry, a bank for road, canals, and other improvements of the nation for profitable markets such as in agriculture. For those areas of the nation (Southern and Western states) who opposed it had people like Henry Clay bringing out the point that it would benefit them as well. In the end, the American System was not completely successful but did make an impact on the Revolution and the progress.
ReplyDeleteIn a way the American system was successful even though it had an effect to the start of the bank wars. But eventually they were established for all citizens.
DeleteThe steamboat created a transcontinental market and helped build an agricultural empire. Canals also played a major role in the effects of the Market Revolution. The Erie Canal which was completed in 1825 was the longest in the world, and revolutionized the American economy.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Erie Canal revolutionized America, specifically the transportation industry.
DeleteAna Mendoza
With the steamboat being built it increased the rate of trade growth rapidly. It opened alot of opportunities for people who weren't able to get to certain resources.
DeleteThe Market Revolution made a huge development in the United States(North & South) with the new and improved transportation, communication and technology. For Example, the steamboat. The steamboat was invented by Robert Fulton in 1807, and his invention permitted the transportation of goods, like cotton, rice, and sugar to travel great distances quicker, more efficient, and cheaper. His invention encouraged many farmers into trading with each other over rivers, lakes, and canals.
ReplyDeleteThe Market Revolution introduced many great things like manufacturing and new technology. But it also increased the production of agriculture. At that time, agricultural production was slowing down due to rapid industrialization, but that changed due to a life changing invention, the steamboat. How could the steamboat benefit agriculture? Robert Fulton's invention increased transportation speed, so farmers could sell surplus crops to remote locations without the them spoiling along the way. With more revenue gained from these sales, agricultural production greatly increased in the country.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the steamboat improved the selling of the crops that were produced by our agriculture. While there was an increase agriculture in the country.
DeleteThe Market Revolution brought a positive affect to the United States.It was a great help to the citizens.Before the turnpikes, every parish had to look after roads since the roads had to be kept maintain.The roads basiclly dirt tracks which turns into mud in the winter. Which ment the roads had to be repair a lot.The Turnpike act help raise money that was needed to help fix the roads. It was a very efficient way to get the money.
ReplyDeleteThe market revolution did bring a positive affects . Because of the streets it made it easier to travel:)
DeleteThe American System changed the way of living and took us out of the cottage industry. It created a more self-independent America by no longer relying on foreign countries for different raw materials and to be a self-supporting nation taxes were raised on foreign products, because of this it was good for the North but bad for the South.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Kimberly. The Lancaster Turnpike was the first important turnpike in the U.S. This turnpike was first made in the 1700'a but due to its success, more were made and used especially during the Market Revolution.
ReplyDeleteThe turnpike was huge beneficial factor during the market revolution. It connected different parts of the US. making wagon travel more efficient. The transportation of goods and other products was also made more efficient. the Turnpike also help to gain funds for better roads and improvements. This opened doors to the market economy causing it to expand. Although the idea first began in the late 1700's, there were more and more turnpikes being made especially through the 1830's - 1850's.
ReplyDeleteThe cotton gin was easily the biggest thing to happen in the south. Production of cotton grew which meant the # of slaves increased. This led to countless opportunites pthat would've never occurred w/o this invention such as jobs for women & children in factories.
ReplyDeleteThe cotton gin was definitely one of the biggest things to happen for the south. The cotton gin was originally made to decrease the number of slaves in use, but it did just the opposite.
DeleteVery true, the cotten gin created more job opportunities and also increased the income from cotton sales. The slave number increased as well as the working class.
DeleteThe cotton gin has helped out our country greatly taking off a big weight for women and children that would of had to do the big job by hand. I think it was a big life saver for the south and its cotton industry.
DeleteThe Market Revolution impacted the United States and its citizens by making the whole country more independent, especially from Europe. One important invention that helped promote this independence was the Steel Plow, which allowed farming to run more effiently, thus decreasing the rate of imports from other countries.
ReplyDeleteAna Mendoza
With the addition to the running more efficiently and decreasing rate of imports, the steel plow also made things so easier that it would be easier for it to support a growing nation. The steel plow also helped by tearing through the hard soil.
DeleteThe Market Revolution is given its name because of the incredibly large effect innovation had on U.S. economy. This creative and innovative mind set gave birth to the many inventions that gave America the boost to propel forward as a super nation of industry. The inventions of this time ranging from the cotton gin to the mind blowing and life changing interchangeable parts marked the beginning of an industrial nation.
ReplyDeleteWhat good would it be have the power to make great goods if it takes months for the actual trading to occur? Well, it is a set back and it is costly to travel a long distance to have to travel around Florida every time the south intends to trade with the north.Robert Fulton, in 1807, put a stop to this with the invention of the Steamboat.The steamboat was a step forward from the steam engine. It was the ingenious idea of combining the two that created a source of transportation that was independent of weather and capable of traveling on rivers and waterways. This would become the cheaper, more efficient, and more reliable transportation of the age. Planters in Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana could easily ship cotton, rice, and sugar upriver on the Mississippi to trade with the north. This will create a diffusion of culture and lead to more connected nation.
During the Market Revolution the cotton gin was one of the most impactful inventions. It was made by Eli Whitney which improved the amount of work that would get done by slaves. It started to make manual labor seem like a breeze. This would lead as one of the causes to industrialize due to the fact that it simplified things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you , but it also helped minimize slavery in the south.
ReplyDeleteEli Whitney's invention of the Cotton Gin in 1793 made growing cotton more profitable. His invention impacted the South because it vastly reduced the amount of labor required to harvest cotton. Also, with the flourishing and sudden increase in cotton production, many textile factories were created in the North.
ReplyDeleteI agree that eli whitney's cotton gin made making cotton easier but it didn't really take away slavery. this is what probably sparked the idea of having factories to make textiles much easier to make.
DeleteDeere came to the conclusion that a plow made out of highly polished steel and a correctly shaped moldboard (the self-scouring steel plow) would be better able to handle the soil conditions of the prairie, especially its sticky clay.
ReplyDeleteThe introduction of interchangable parts had an effect on industrialization in the United States. It made processing in factories much quicker because everyone was responsible for one part and became skilled at it. Interchangable parts made it possible for jobs to go to unskilled workers because the work was no longer very difficult. The products created were now much cheaper because they were more widely available.
ReplyDeletei like how you include that products were now much cheaper, this is so true because instead of having to buy the product all over again the person would only have to by the broken part again. This is less expensive and more convenient.
DeleteThe invention of the steamboat greatly impacted transportation and trade. It was created to run on steam and travel through rivers or any desired water route. This boat transported goods such as cotton faster and cheaper. Not only did it carry agriculture goods, it carried people and other materials to their destination. This creation sparked new ideas for better forms of transportation which helped the economy.
ReplyDeleteit was not only the start of just transportation but this opened canals up and started the idea of transcontinental transportation.
DeleteThe cotton Gin Increased production way faster than the slaves doing it.This cotton Gin caused the market manufacturing increase as well as the southern region economy boost it up.
ReplyDeleteDo not forget that because of the large profits, the cotton gin also increased the number of slaves in a plantation.
DeleteInterchangeable parts helped increase production in factories. Being able to repair a machine rather than building another one from scratch and possibly messing it up was a huge step towards industrialization. It cut the time taken out of building mutliple machines or other things by a lot. Slaves were able to use several of these machines built with interchangeable parts to increase the production and also the income.
ReplyDeleteDisliked by both Westerners and Southerners alike (and for a great reason too), the American System sure did leave its impact on the United States. The plan had contained three parts and they mostly benefited Northern States by the transforming its terrain with national paved roads and canals. An introduction to the protective tariff and the reestablishment of the Bank of the US were especially opposed by the South and West according to beliefs that the protective tariff was capable of hurting Southern trade and that the banks themselves were “rich and greedy.” The American System would later on get disbanded due to the increasing distrust from both the West and South.
ReplyDeleteInterchangeable parts made machinery easier and cheaper to fix. The idea behind interchangeable parts is that all machines be made of the same design, instead of being individually designed, so they will have the same parts. If a machine were to break a break, a new part would just replace instead building an entire new machine. This revolutionized the world of manufacturing, and increased production in many factories.
ReplyDeleteI agree on this because it was a lot faster and easier for us to get the things we need for our trades. We also spent less money for getting the only part needed.
DeleteThe market revolution made a great change in our country. Well, in business you know that things are basically wanting to move faster and faster. the markets revolution made that happen in all aspects to revolutionize our country. so the steamboat helped shipping faster for us because the boat had a motor and it could go against currents. Made shipping from the u.s much more quicker
ReplyDeleteThe idea of interchangeable parts impacted America the most. Without interchangeable parts, the purchasing of an entirely new product would be necessary. While the steamboat or the cotton gin made many jobs easier. Manufacturing the steamboats or cotton gins multiple times would become redundant with interchangeable parts. The cost of repairing a product is also considerably cheaper which would save the working class more money.
ReplyDeleteThe Market Revolution affected the United States because it stimulated economic growth. One effect was the turnpike. A turnpike is like a modern day toll booth and the government would charge people to pass. This money was used to create new roads and canals.
ReplyDeleteThe interchangeable parts affected the market in the way that things could easily be fixed instead of thrown away, which saved money. And it gave more people jobs because one person could focus on one thing and one thing only instead of working multiple machines by themselves.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because the interchangeable parts began a change in people's aspect on tools. They realized instead of buying a new one they could just fix the old and not lose money in the process.
DeleteThe market revolution was effected by the steam boat . The steamboat, invented by Robert Fulton in 1807, permitted the transportation of goods. These goods were such as cotton rise it helped out the farmers because got there where they were needed in a way faster way . The steam boat could also go against the waves so I could go either way to get to its destination
ReplyDeleteIf the Market Revolution happened after WWII then why does it state the years 1830-1850 at the end of the question? It might have lasted longer than that though.
ReplyDeleteThe Market Revolution impacted the lives of many people in a good way. The cotton gin helped the economy in the South by creating a big change in the manual labor down in the South. The cotton gin made it easier to separate the seeds fomr the cotton which didn't require a lot of labor to do it. This made it easier for the slaves who were out in the field working. It made production much faster.
ReplyDeleteThe turnpikes changed the way of travel because it made the roads better and easier. This was also a cheaper way to keep things going and the invention spurred a great progression. It advanced the growth in urban areas and made it possible for building.
ReplyDelete1830-1850 brought such a rapid development of manufacturing and improved farming had such a massive effect on American society that historians often refer to it as the Market Revolution. The first major innovation was the cotton gin. For most of the 1700s, Americans had lacked cotton, despite the fact that they had waterways for transport and the ability to construct textile factories. Most southerners left cotton for rice and tobacco because cotton took too much labor. since the creation of the cotton gin on slave could produce 50 pounds of cotton in one day!
ReplyDeleteThe Market Revolution brought about many inventions which made agriculture and industry much easier to work with. Interchangeable parts were invented by Eli Whitney who also invented the cotton gin these inventions were all innovations to the manufacturing of weapons and of other devices that needed parts to be made in a cheap way. While there was a improvement in the time it took to create a replacement part for a weapon instead of ordering another specially crafted piece from a craftsman. The idea of interchangeable parts would still vary through other creations such as replacing parts for mechanical devices that would be time consuming and a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteSteamboats started to be used in 1787 while it was thought out by James Watt and followed by the creation of the steamboat by John Fitch. Steamboats had many applications to the nation such as the transport of goods through rivers which was a necessity for many farmers and sellers of goods. There was also the idea of increasing the profit brought by selling wide variety of goods to different parts of the nation.
ReplyDelete
